To create the lamppost I first made a cylinder shape from the geometry tab in order to form the base of the lamp. I then used the bevel tool to pull the top of the cylinder inwards. Afterwards I made another cylinder for the pole and two more for the lamp cap and the lamp base. I made one more cylinder for the cage where the light resides. I used the lattice tool to form the correct shape. I then made panes of glass by using the plane shapes which I then moved into place and added a glass texture onto them. I used the UVW unwrap tool to prepare the model for texturing. It was a challenge trying to figure out the best way to unwrap the lattice because it wasn't a very conventional shape. I used varying conditions of metal for the texture, especially for the top as it looked more rain damaged. I am happy with the outcome but i would have liked to have added more shapes to it like a horizontal pole through the centre one. I would've also liked to include a light fixture inside the main cage of the lamppost.
